Ed Price checks in with an interesting tidbit after speaking to CC Sabathia: CC Sabathia says he is available in relief tomorrow for #Yankees. “I can probably throw 45 pitches, 50.” While I hope that the need for CC does not present itself and that Phil Hughes can hand a lead directly to the primary [...]
CC Sabathia did not have his best stuff yesterday. In 6 long innings he allowed 11 hits, and frequently fell behind hitters because he could not locate most of his pitches. However, in the immortal words of Rangers manager Ron Washington, the Rangers had Sabathia bended, but he did not break. He did not walk [...]
Up until yesterday I haven’t felt such baseball-related anxiety since the 2004 postseason. My palms were actually sweating despite the Yankees having a 6-1 lead heading into the sixth. I suppose that’s the natural reaction for a fan watching his team teeter on the precipice of elimination. Unfortunately, my angst was not unwarranted and the [...]
We’ve heard it a bunch of times over the last few days: the last time the New York Yankees were down 3-1 in a series was in the 1958 World Series, which they came back in and won. I’m not saying the 2010 Yankees are guaranteed to do that in the ALCS, but I’m still [...]
Though it wasn’t a vintage performance, CC Sabathia reminded everyone why he’s one of the best pitchers in the game last night, keeping the Rangers at bay over a two-run, six-inning performance, and extending the Yankees’ season by at least one more game. Regardless of what happens in this series, it was electrifying to see [...]
I was wondering when the real 2010 Yankees were finally gonna show up. The Yankees — riding a far-from-dominant but still-plenty-competitive outing by CC Sabathia — finally erupted on offense after a three-game stretch in which they scored only five runs, beating the Rangers 7-2 to stay alive for another game in the American League [...]
After three rather ugly games, the Yankees finally showed up to play Wednesday afternoon. With CC Sabathia on the mound, the Yankee bats woke up after being missing in action the last couple days. The Bombers leapt out to an early lead and maintained it as they won 7-2 and head back to Texas trailing the Rangers 3-2.
In the bottom of the second Alex Rodriguez worked a walk. Lance Berkman drew a walk and Jorge Posada connected with a RBI single. Curtis Granderson singled to right, bringing Berkman and Posada home and giving the Yankees a 3-0 lead.

See? What did I tell you? One Yankee win, and we’re all feeling better. Yes, our backs are still to the wall. But now there’s hope.
One Yankee win, and the narrative changes. Tear up the old story lines about how the Yankees had failed and did not stand a chance.
Here’s the new narrative, based on the few sources available this early to me:

11 wins to defend that title. 11 wins to once again reach the pinnacle of the baseball world. Four down, seven to go. The march to championship #28 continues tonight.
